I was wondering the same myself. I didn't know if it was my system, or the increased traffic due to the release of Acceleration or what.Thanks for confirming that it may not be my system.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

I don't think it is because of the increased traffic because of Accelerator either. It takes me about 20 to 25 sec to move from one message to another - very annoying.I remember last year or so when PMDG 747 release wrecked Havoc to this site but it wasn't this slow while it was up anyway.Wilbert

Do you know what the pingplotter data means? It looks interesting, but I wouldn't know how to interpret it or what it means to Avsim performance.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

Hi all,The slowness I think is a combination of interest in the AVSIM FanCon, and also the usual "hump" in forum traffic we get after a big Microsoft release. :-)I have turned off view counting in the forum software, which should vastly improve matters.For the techy gurus: view counting is implemented in MySQL using "UPDATE

Me, I am what is wrong with avsim.For years I have been gathering my army of miniature albino bunnies in preparation for this day. I have trained them to type out HTTP requests and have had them hitting the avsim servers for several hours. This is but a small demonstration of my power, unless the publishers of avsim send me ONE MILLLLLIIIIION DOLLARS I will be force to unleash the full fury of my Fluffy White Bunny army!Ignore me at your peril!

When the Scot was asked about his kilt; "Is there anything worn under that?", he responded, "No Maam. Everything is in perfect operating condition". :)Everything here is in perfect operating condition. We are just getting hammered between the Accerlation release, PMDG 747 release and our FANCON traffic. Take a deep breath, think of mutant ninja bunnies (or whatever) and we'll be back up to speed shortly.
